Update on Norfolk Navy Yard Shooting

Capt. "First of all, our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the Sailor killed last night. This is a very difficult and sad time for our Navy family. At this moment, we are in the process of notifying the Sailor's next of kin and I would ask that you please respect their privacy at this very difficult time. Information about our Sailor will come at the appropriate time and today is not the day. I can tell you . . . at approximately 11:20 p.m. [Tuesday night] there was a shooting on board USS Mahan at Pier 1.
